[64] عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الْخُرَاسَانِيَّ ع وَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ الْعَبَّاسِيَّ ذَكَرَ أَنَّكَ تُرَخِّصُ فِي الْغِنَاءِ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ الزِّنْدِيقُ مَا هَكَذَا قُلْتُ لَهُ سَأَلَنِي عَنِ الْغِنَاءِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْغِنَاءِ فَقَالَ يَا فُلَانُ إِذَا مَيَّزَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ فَأَنَّى يَكُونُ الْغِنَاءُ فَقَالَ مَعَ الْبَاطِلِ فَقَالَ قَدْ حَكَمْتَ A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn al-Rayyan from Yunus who has said the following: ‘I once asked al-Khurasaniy -asws saying, ‘AI-Abbasiy has said that you allow al-Ghina.

The Imam -asws said: ‘The infidel has spoken a lie’. I did not say so to him. He asked me about ‘al-Ghina’ and I said: ‘Once a man came to Abu Jafar -asws and asked him about al-Ghina’. The Imam -asws said: ‘O so and so, if Allah -azwj Distinguishes between truth and falsehood where is the place of al-Ghina?’ He replied: ‘It is in falsehood’. The Imam -asws said: ‘So, you have concluded with wisdom’.

[65] Playing Useless Games are Forbidden (لَهْوٍ وَ لَعِبٍ): We have already read in several Ahadith the word ‘لَهْو’ refers to useless play/games, as Allah -azwj Says: ‘Among people there are those who buy useless things in the form of words to mislead from the path of Allah. (31 :6). And Allah -azwj Says: ‘We have not created the skies, the earth and all in between for a playful purpose, had we wanted we could have done so and we were able to do so.

We throw the truth over the falsehood to invalidate it and it is bound to vanish. Woe upon you because of your terrible expression.’ (21:16-18).
